Profiled in a previous Wheel of Justice report, 18-year-old Tevin Bolden turned himself in to St John Deputies Wednesday afternoon.

Bolden faces a murder charge in connection with the death of 29-year-old Michael Lee who was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in Garyville.

According to St John deputies and Lee’s family members, the two men were gambling on Little Hope Street when Bolden opened fire on Lee.

Family members said Lee was able to speak immediately after the shooting but died at a New Orleans hospital. They say the two men knew each other most of their lives. They say Bolden shot Lee after losing all his money in a dice game.

As many as two dozen shots may have been fired. Some bullets also hit nearby homes, so Bolden faces a list of charges including murder.
